Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022

Life Is One Big Test

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022

Someone said, “Life is a test”. Life is one big university that is in session 365 days a year.

I do not know about you, but I have never enjoyed taking a test. Now I can remember when I was in college.

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

This passage shares the account of a church that is looking at what the church down the road is doing. The pastor (Samuel) tries to lead this church (Israel) according to God’s will, but the congregation won’t heed his counsel.

As we look at this chapter of 1 Samuel today, there unfolds a scene that can be applied to discussing the goal of churches today. What is the vision of some churches? Do churches think in a Christ-centered manner, or do they think in a worldly manner? What I mean is this: Are churches today ...read more
